Jan Bergstra is a
Dutch logician currently active as an independent researcher and
consultant working within Minstroom Research BV, Utrecht, The
Netherlands.
His work has focussed on logical aspects of theoretical informatics,
more specifically: term rewriting, process algebra, abstract data
types, instruction sequences, proposition algebra, theory of
meadows, and informational money.Born in 1951 in Rotterdam, he
obtained a PhD in mathematical logic at Utrecht University in 1976.
Subsequently he worked for Leiden University, the CWI in Amsterdam,

Computer Programming’'. Since 2008 Jan Bergstra has been cooperating
with with Mark Burgess from Oslo in the setting of Mark
Burgess' approach to promise theory, primarily working towards on
applications within informatics. Recently the focus of their
research on promises has been extended to the role of promises in
politics and the use of promises in the conceptualisation of money.

Prof. Bimal Kumar SarkarGalgotias University, India

Dr. Bimal Kumar
Sarkar, born January 2, 1961, in Kolkata, India, graduated in
physics at Jadavpur University and electrical engineering at
Institute of Engineers (India). He did his Ph.D. on the topic
Photoacoustic Spectroscopic Estimation of Thermal and Optical
Properties of Solids at Indian Association for the Cultivation of
Science, India. He pursued a postdoctoral fellowship at the
Department of Chemistry, National Sun Yat-sen University, Taiwan.
Afterward he visited in research positions at NSYSU, Taiwan, Czech

Conference Venue

Czech Technical University in Prague

The Masaryk Dormitory is situated in a strategic location in
Dejvice, Prague 6, just 20 minutes away from Prague Vaclav Havel
international airport, with excellent public-transport access to
the city centre, and with good motorway links.

The Masaryk Dormitory was founded in 1925, thanks to moral
and financial support provided by Tomáš Garrigue Masaryk, the
first president of Czechoslovakia. It was built according to the
design of Antonín Engel in Sadova Street, nowadays called
Thákurova Street, in parallel with the preparations for
constructing the adjacent campus of the Czech Technical
University in Prague (www.cvut.cz).

Get Around in Prague

Walking
Walking is the best way to see the centre of the city. Indeed, much
of the centre is closed to vehicular traffic, meaning walking is
sometimes the only option for getting around. Cars and vehicles are
prohibited from crossing Charles Bridge. Cobblestones and the long
hill on the approach to Prague Castle play havoc with heels, though.
The best bet is to opt for comfortable walkers or sneakers.

Tram
Extensive network of routes, best way for getting around shorter
distances between neighbourhoods. Full service from 5am to 12.30am;
limited service through the night.

Bus
Buses are not much use in the city centre, except for travelling to
the airport or in areas not covered by tram or metro. They run from
4.30am to around midnight, plus limited night service.

Tickets & PassesA valid ticket or day pass is required for travel
on all metros, trams and buses. Tickets and passes are sold from
machines at metro stations and some tram stops (coins only), as well
as at newspaper kiosks and DPP information offices at the Můstek,
Anděl, Hradčanská and Nádraží Veleslavín stations.

You must validate (punch) your ticket before descending on the metro
escalators or on entering a tram or bus (day passes must be stamped
the first time you use them). For the metro, you’ll see stamping
machines at the top of the escalators. In trams and buses there will
be a stamping machine in the vehicle by the door.

A full-price ticket costs 32Kč per adult. A discounted ticket of
16Kč is available to children aged six to 15 years and seniors aged
65 to 70 (kids under six ride free). Full-price tickets are valid
for 90 minutes of unlimited travel, including transfers.

For shorter journeys, buy short-term tickets that are valid for 30
minutes of unlimited travel. These cost 24/12Kč per adult/child and
senior. You’ll also need a 16Kč ticket if you're carrying a dog or
for each large suitcase or backpack (more than 25cm x 45cm x 70cm);
a 24-hour or three-day pass includes one such item of luggage.

Bikes (metro only) and prams travel free.

Day passes are available for one or three days and make sense if
you're planning on staying more than a few hours. One-day passes
cost 110/55Kč per adult/child and senior; three-day passes cost
310Kč (no discounts available for children or seniors).

While ticket inspections are infrequent, getting caught without a
validated ticket can be expensive. The fine if paid on the spot is
800Kč, or 1500Kč if paid later at a police station.

Attractions in Prague

Prague Castle (Pražský hrad)
This is the biggest
ancient castle in the world, according to Guinness World Records,
and rises like a dream above the city offering beautiful views of
the areas below. Also on site is the St. Vitus Cathedral with its
lookout tower, the Castle Picture Gallery, several palaces and
museums and the beautiful Royal Garden, among others. You can also
watch the Presidential Guard, and the changeover of the guards on
duty on the hour. A Prague castle ticket is 350 CZK and an audio
guide costs a further 350 CZK.

Charles Bridge(Karlův most)
It connects Old Town with Lesser Town. Its construction started in the 14th century and it is
one of Prague's most beautiful structures. During the day, it is a bustling place of trade and entertainment, as musicians busk and artists
sell their paintings and jewelry.

Old Town (Staré město)
Prague's historic centre
includes numerous historic buildings and monuments, most notably the
famed Astronomical Clock (Orloj), the pure GothicTýn Church, the
mural-covered Storch building, and the Jan Hus monument. Nearby, the
Estate Theatre is a neoclassical theatre where Mozart's opera Don
Giovanni was first performed. Old Town features many historical
churches (St. James Church, Church of Our Lady before Týn among
others) and some other interesting historical buildings like the Old
Town Hall.

Josefov
This historic Jewish ghetto is interesting for its well preserved
synagogues. The Old New Synagogue (Czech: Staronová synagoga) is
Europe's oldest active synagogue and it is rumoured to be the
resting place of the famed Prague Golem. Another interesting
synagogue is the Spanish Synagogue, a highly ornamental building of
Moorish style. Other attractions include the Old Jewish Cemetery,
which is the oldest in Europe, and Kafka's house. The Old New
Synagogue is NOT a part of the Jewish museum, so if you wish to see
everything, it is recommended that you buy a combined pass to all of
the Jewish attractions for 480 CZK.

New Town (Nové město)
New Town was established as an extension of
Old Town in the 14th century, though much of the area has now been
reconstructed. The main attraction here is Wenceslas Square, a
rectangular commercial square with many stalls, shops and
restaurants. At the top of the square is the National Museum which
is well worth a look (see below). Midway down this historic
boulevard, one finds trendy discos and Art Nouveau hotels, as well
as quaint parks and arcades, while just off the beaten path are some
wonderful panoramic views (Henry Tower), romantic restaurants and
the dazzling, Disney-colored Jubilee Synagogue.

Lesser Town (Malá strana)
Across the Vltava River from the city centre and leading to the castle, this quarter also offers beautiful streets and churches
(of which St. Nicholas Church is the most renowned). The Lennon Wall, which used to be a source of irritation to the communist regime, is also found here,
near a Venetian-like canal with water wheel and close to the Charles Bridge.
